Check in Information

September 14, 2024 

from 

9:00 am- 1:00 pm

Starting at 9:00 am, there will be check in hubs at a couple of locations across campus, based on where you will be living for the Academic Year. At these check in hubs, you’ll meet some of the mentors, receive some goodies, and get more info regarding the rest of the day/week. 

The Opening Ceremony for Black Academy will start at 2:30 pm with doors opening at 2 pm. It is imperative that you arrive on campus on time, so that you can move into your permanent residential space, then meet us in Humanities Lecture Hall, Room 206 by 2:30 pm. If you live off campus, you can meet us at the Humanities Lecture Hall, Room 206 at 2:30 and we will have your materials there.  If you are a dining staff member, you will need to follow early arrival check in instructions provided by your employer.
